Yes the diamond blade on an edger is some funny schiess...

I would bet big that the slab has no reinforcement.......

Think I am about done with Pelican...
Well, Tim, if you'd like me to apologize, you have it. I do have some practical experience on this issue having removed my share of concrete. But no reason to be pissing people off, so I acquiesce.

you think running a 2 cycle engine chop saw in a basement for a half hr is gonna kill somebody????

oh wait you are a licensed professional engineer...that makes sense, you are probably a big Obama fan also
No need for that kind of post. A few of those and you will be banned.

Oh, and on the lawn edger issue, there are some grades of concrete that would saw with a hand saw. The kind I seem to always encounter would laugh at me using a Skillsaw or anything less than a machine designed to cut concrete.
I have probably dry sawed a quarter mile of stucco which is 3/4 to 7/8" thick. Speed averages about 2'/ minute and the stuff is soft compared to concrete with 3/4 rock.

If any of you want to compare how much dirt, concrete, debris, lumber, materials, paint, plaster, plywood, drywall, roofing, steel, etc. you have hauled on your back with the 40 years I have been doing that, bring it on.
